     Big storms. High waves. Technical failures. Loneliness. After battling hard times and danger for over
nine months, British teenager Mike Perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail solo
(單獨(dú)) around the world.
     The 17yearold made the record after he cleared the Panama Canal (巴拿馬運(yùn)河) and then sailed
through the Caribbean and home across the Atlantic.
     Mike is only three months younger than Zac Sunderland, the 17yearold American boy who had taken
the crown as the youngest solo aroundtheworld sailor in July.
     The two youngsters met in Cape Town in South Africa as they crossed the globe in different
directions. Mike insisted they were not rival (競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手). "No. It's two teenagers going out there, living
their dream and having the adventure of a lifetime," he said.
   Mike may be young, but he is no stranger to sailing adventures. He picked up the hobby at age 6 when
his father took him out in a small boat on a local lake. Father and son sailed separate boats across the
Atlantic when Mike was 14, making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo. That record gave
him the taste for this even greater challenge.
   On the recent journey, the scariest moment for Mike came when his sailboat was hit by storms in the
southern Indian Ocean.
   "We were picked up by what felt like a 60foot wave and threw down on our side at 90 degrees," he
said.
   "It felt like I was going right over. Stuff was flying around and I just thought'Oh no'. "
   At other times, he had to dive into the Pacific and fix problems. He tied himself to the boat, jumped
into the water and went to work with a knife in 30second dives underneath (在……之下) the boat to
cut a rope away.
   Mike said he felt proud that he made his dream come true. "You've got to have confidence in yourself
that you will make it," he said.

Not many years ago, a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was 75, he gave £12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground.
As a result of his kindness, many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was 75 and expected to live to be 100, and the newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at 75. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection(注射)in my neck each evening”, he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.
The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was 75 and had a daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain, asking him for the secret of his daily injection.
